Dilworth Man Jailed on Theft, Driving Charges<\/h2>\n

DILWORTH, Minn.<\/strong> \u2014 (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 A 53-year-old man was booked into the Clay County Jail on Friday.<\/p>\n

Jail records identify the man as Kelly Ray Quarles. He was booked at 1:45 p.m. on July 17, 2026.<\/p>\n

The Dilworth Police Department was listed as the arresting agency.<\/p>\n

Quarles faces several allegations related to driving, identity information, and property theft.<\/p>\n

Charges Listed in Jail Records<\/h2>\n

The booking record lists a charge of driving without a valid license. The charge also mentions license class or vehicle type rules.<\/p>\n

It further refers to state restrictions involving multiple driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n

Quarles was also booked on an allegation of giving a false name to police.<\/p>\n

A theft charge involving property valued between $1 and $500 was also listed.<\/p>\n

The final listed charge concerns driving an uninsured vehicle.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law requires drivers to carry proof of valid vehicle insurance. Drivers must provide that proof when requested by law enforcement.<\/p>\n

More information about Minnesota\u2019s insurance requirements is available through the Minnesota Legislature\u2019s official statutes website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Case Remains Pending<\/h2>\n

The booking information does not provide details about the reported theft. It also does not state what led to the initial police contact.<\/p>\n

No court outcome was included in the available jail record.<\/p>\n

A jail booking shows that a person was taken into custody. It does not prove guilt.<\/p>\n

Quarles is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Charge details may change after prosecutors review the case. Court filings may also provide more facts about the allegations.<\/p>\n
